Cyprus | SMASH #vol. 4

On this cold and rainy (at least here in Denmark) December Sunday I'm joining in with some SMASHpages from the warm Cyprus.

Daytrip to Nicosia

We went on a trip up to Nicosia, a city which is seperated between the Greek-Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriot population.

Firstly we visited Cyprus Handicraft Center. I made a pocket from some scrapbooking leftovers for the brochures you could collect at the center.

Afterwardswe wentaround in someofthe old streets intheGreek-Cypriotpart of the city and ended up in the modern part of Nicosia. The modern part is just like every other modern European city but one thing -

.... the Checkpoint to the Turkish occupied part of the city. It's really surreal because you need a visa tocross the border and the Checkpoint is right in the middleofa pedestrian zone. When you came over to the Turkish occupied part of Nicosia it felt as iftime had stoodstill formany many years. We saw the oldcaravanserai Buyuk Han which todays is transformed intoa livelycenter for the saleof handicrafts, The Selimiye-mosque and the bazaar before leaving for the Greek-Cypriotic part of the city.

The bazaar and coffee at Starbucks

After lunch we had coffee at Starbucks before exploring more of Nicosia.

I hope you enjoy all the Christmas preparations during this busy month.
